Margaret Harrison questions the stereotypes that limit sex and gender identities of people. Throughout the exploration of these issues, the artist interacts critically with the social constructions of masculinity and feminity through the appealing facade of irony. Since the beginning of her career in the 70s, Harrison reports in her watercolors, as the feminism of the decade did, that the oppression system towards women is historical and changing, not immanent. To do so, she reports the objectization of women and the reproduction of male domination produced by stereotypes. Using frequently icons of pop art in a Warhol style, celebrities from the movies industry or heroes from Marvel and Disney characters, Margaret Harrison reverse the roles and hypersexualize the male figure from a feminist inverted look.
